[Opensim-users] More 0.6.7 ... Re: Multiple regions using 0.6.7

   I am running 64 bit linux at work and had exactly the same two 
problems that
you did.  The avatar problem was resolved with the default settings plus 
changing
av_capsule_tilted = false. There was no other solution that worked - the 
avatar's
legs were bent otherwise, or the avatar mesh intersected with the 
terrain mesh. There
is still the occasional flailing of the avatar, which is something I 
wish we could get rid
of, but we are just living with that:

seems to be an in-between state where the avatar is neither flying nor 
upright.

  As far as the textures, yes, there is something odd going on but a 
recent fix was made to
transition to a library CSJ2K in 0.6.8.  You'll need to download the 
bleeding edge
version, though, to take advantage of this. I am not sure if the 
releases cover the
CSJ2K fix. You'll also see a huge # of warnings from CSJ2K in the 
console (more
 than before with the older decoding approach), however, the 
client-server interaction
regarding texture retrievals is much better. I am not sure if the new 
library solves
all texture issues. There are one or two that never seem to fully 
resolve regardless
of camera-focus/zooming or time waiting.  Make sure to "clear cache" in
the viewer before launching.

  Regarding region crossings, I have not had any issues, though. I am 
using Standalone
with a 2x2 set of regions.
